GUILFoRD, Sept. 7.-Ihe Sachems Head crossing will claim the attention of the rail ! road commissioners, the railroad officials and the Guilford town officials at hearing soon 1 to be appointed. The towns proposition is to build new piece of road passing under the railroad tracks little east of the Sa- chem's Head crossing and abolishing the grade crossing, which is very dangerous, and the railroad officials propose that the so- called Leete's Island crossing be discontinued and new piece of road be built tat the towns expense), connecting the Leete's Island road with the Sachem's Head road. thereby making one crossing instead of two and re- lieving the railroad of the expense of main taining bridge as heretofore over their road at the Leete's Island crossing, which is 0 safe

How yOlapuk Sounds.

heard it talked until last week. when,

one was Russian and the other a cosmo-
poiitan-engaged in a conversation in Vol
dpuk for our editication. would rather
not write down in black and white my
impression of what l heard. One OF the
guests suggested that Nolapuk sounded
like double Dutch spoken by Choctaw
Indian suffering from a chronic Group,
while another suggested it was more like
4 Welshman trying TO cough in modern
Greek; but it must not be supposed that l
lndorse their evidently exaggerated state
ments. Seriously, however, l do not
think that Nolapuk sounded like the uni
versal language OF the future, though l
must say that many Of its words seem
taken from roots common TO our own and
the German language.-LOndon Figaro.

Changes in National Drinking Habits.

Some important changes are now taking
place IN the drinking habits of several
great countries. China, for example, has
Just ordered lot of bottled beer for the
use Of the sailors who man her lately
acquired fleet of ironclads. Japan, not to
be behind her ancient rival, has sent a
professor Of Toxic university to Europe
for the purpose Of ''sampling' the various
kinds of beer that Germany produces.
Thence he will go to England. and on his
return to japan his imperial majesty, the
emperor, will issue a decree to establish
beer as the national drink. This action is
taken on account of the vicious habit of
gin tipplinS which has recently obtained a
foothold in Japan. In England, too, the
consumption of beer is on the increase.
whereas the British bill for liquor is
smaller this year than it has been for a
decade In France, on the other hand,
the use Of brandy and gin is much more
common and frequent than it was before
the Franco Pm -sian Wharf.-The Epoch.

Collecting Fine ViOlins.

In an office building on Union square
are the quarters of n dealer who sells the
finest and costlieSt old violins that are
sold in America. Amateurs who collect
old fiidleS know him well, and enormous
prices are paid by them for the instru-
ments he makes specially Of buying
and selling. \ man from the far ives:
bought Stradivarius for So, 500 the other
afternoon. and in the course of his pur-
chase played n snatch of p tune on it.
His playing was eXeCrable. l never heard
worse from a street musician. l remarked
on this TO the dealer, and he replied,
smiling:
The costliest violins belong to the
men who have least skill in playing them.
That is one OF the curioSites of the trade.
Those who collect violins are rarely
master performers on them. They buy
for the sake OF having. Men who can
play the violin do not invest fortunes in
instruments They buy as good as they
can afford for themselves and do their
best with it"
This collection of fiddles is, by the way,
a curious craze. l knew q man in London
who had il very badly. He owned dozens
of violns, and had each put by in u
special glass case on the wall of his study
along with a little book containing its
history, written by himself, and the docu
ments that authenticated it. He also had
n fine collection Of bows. He would start
of at an hours notice for Russia or
America to get hold of prize violin, and
the only tune he could play through was
Yankee Doodle which is the easiest
one to learn on the violin. Mr.. Joseph
W Drexel owns, l believe. the finest
collection Of violins in New York, which
probably means in America, but he is far
from a brilliant performer on them

THE WHOLE sTATE sVBPcENAED.

John r. Norris's Trial to Come of Toner
morrow at Timn and One Hund red and
Etghty-Seven Witnesses Summoned.
Detective John T. Norris. of this city, is
to be tried at Tiffin tomorrow "wednesday
for black-mail. The case, 1t will be re-
membered. was brought by Clark and some
more of the alleged Bohemian oats swim
dlers, for revenge upon Norris in hunting
them down. so John claims. The case has
been put off from time to time by the pros
ecution. until John has sickened Of the
whole thing. and he wants trial tomorrow.
1t looks as though no case could be made
against Norris, and the prosecution is not
wildly anxious to press the matter. John
sees this. and has issued a prccipe for the
subpOenaing of lS1 witnesses. throughout
tire state, to testify to the character and to
the nature of the Bohemian oats business.
These witnesses are chiefly repOrters-in-
clud;ng all the press gang IN Springfield
county commissioners and other county
officials. in fact Norris has had virtually
the whole state of Ohio SubpoenIed.
A shrewd lawyer said to REPUBLIC
man that Norris was working big bluff
game by this small army of witnesses, eX-
pectng the prosecution to weaken at the
thought of the costs in such case.
